Coronene suggested as a useful method to study graphene oxide

Researchers from Brazil suggest a new way to study the changes generated by oxygenated groups in Graphene Oxide using Coronene as a model molecule.

The researcher ran several experiments and measurements on a series of functionalized coronene molecules, and say that these results provide useful data for the analysis of IR and Raman spectra of GO. The researcher say that the Coronene could provide a useful model to study GO features.
